APPENDIX I SECTOR: Security and Law Enforcement Since the last report, an additional $1.5 billion in Development Fund for Iraq (DFI) funding has been added to security efforts: $500 million in the revised 2004 Iraqi budget published in early April and $1 billion in funds from the UN escrow account for the Oil for Food program. Of the additional $1.5 billion, $1 billion was added for training, equipping and sustaining Iraqi security forces. Another $377 million was added to support the following three initiatives: the Accelerated Iraqi Reconstruction Program, the Rapid Regional Response Program (R3P) and the Middle Euphrates Program. The remaining $123 million was added to the Commander’s Emergency Response Program (CERP) allowing Coalition field commanders to address humanitarian needs in their region of authority. The additional funds for Iraqi security forces have been applied toward new and emerging requirements as a direct result of the more difficult security situation since early April. As noted in the Executive Summary, Lieutenant General David Petraeus arrived in early June to lead the Office of Security Transition-Iraq (OST-I). At his request the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) established the “Iraqi Security Forces Quick Response Program,” a new project that was separately reported and notified on June 24, 2004. This $40 million project will allow OST-I to make a series of diverse, relatively small purchases in support of the Iraqi Armed Forces, the Iraqi National Guard (ING, formerly the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps), Iraqi Police Service, Department of Border Enforcement, and the Facilities Protection Service. This program will be funded out of the IRRF by reallocating $20 million from the Border Enforcement project and $20 million from the Facilities Protection Service. Security remains a challenge and the top priority. The focus of the security programs continues to be empowering the Iraqis to take progressively greater ownership of Iraq’s security. Over 200,000 Iraqis are now serving or are being trained to serve in the five main security forces: Iraqi Police Service (IPS), Department of Border Enforcement (DBE), Facilities Protection Service (FPS), Iraqi Armed Forces (IAF), and Iraqi National Guard (ING). The uprisings in April 2004 tested many Iraqi security forces in major operations. Some Iraqi forces fought alongside Coalition forces, but other units abandoned their posts and responsibilities, and in some cases assisted the insurgency. OST-I and Iraqi government officials are refocusing efforts to better train and equip the Iraqi forces and to develop better leadership within the ranks. • The IPS is developing into a functional national force and presently has approximately 120,000 police on the payroll. However, not all of the police on duty have received sufficient training or have been fully equipped to be mission capable. The immediate focus is to reconstitute and reorganize the IPS and accelerate efforts to train and equip the force. This can best be achieved by streamlining the force and concentrating on quality rather than quantity of Iraqi police officers. To this end, the 1-1 Iraqi Ministry of Interior has decided to reduce the number of police officers to 89,000 by trimming from its rolls those who have proven to be unsuitable for this rigorous type of service while at the same time increasing the capacity at the Baghdad Public Safety Academy and the Jordan International Police Training Center. Equipment problems that have plagued police units are being rapidly remedied by deliveries from contracts CPA awarded in the spring. • 41 of 45 planned ING battalions have been established and are now at 75 percent manning strength or greater following intensive efforts by the Major Subordinate Commands to reconstitute them in the aftermath of intensive fighting in April; at one point, the number of personnel dropped to about half of what it is now. These units are actively participating in combined operations with Coalition forces. Leadership, training, and proper vetting procedures are being evaluated to ensure the ING will be an effective force to counter future incidents of armed uprising. • The IAF are on track to complete recruit training for 27 infantry battalions by this fall, and deliveries of basic equipment should be complete by then. Officer and non­ commissioned officer training for the 27 battalions is largely complete. Four battalions have just completed integration training in preparation for operating with multinational brigades throughout the country; three more battalions are training and reconstituting. The Ministry of Defense is restructuring some of these components into an Iraqi Intervention Force that will be oriented toward fighting the insurgency. These units are actively participating in combined operations with Coalition forces. LAW ENFORCEMENT Police Training and Technical Assistance Project Code: 10000 Dollars in millions FY 2004 1st Qtr 2nd Qtr 3rd Qtr 4th Qtr FY 2005 Total April 2207 Report 246 572 103 122 0 1043 July 2207 Report 246 572 103 119 0 1040 Change from April Report 0 0 0 -3 0 -3 Obligated to date 372 Outlayed to date 57 Responsible U.S. Government Agency: Departments of State and Defense, with some funds transferred to Department of Justice. Changes from the April Report: The April report allocated $1.043 billion for police training and technical assistance. This report reduces this amount by $3 million in order to help offset a transfer of $184 million from the IRRF to the State Department to cover the operating expenses of the U.S. mission in Iraq, as authorized in the FY 2004 1-2 Supplemental Appropriations Act. This brings the funds allocated to this activity to $1.040 billion. The rest of the April plan has not changed. Of the total funding allocated, the State Department is using $600 million for the following activities: support police training at the Jordan International Police Training Center (Jordan Academy) and at police academies in Iraq; deploy and maintain up to 500 U.S. International Police Advisors (IPAs); and support up to 500 IPAs provided by other countries. An additional $200 million is funding the specialized police training program begun this past quarter and administered by the Departments of State, Justice and Defense. Finally, the Department of Defense is using the remaining $243 million to construct training academies, including the Baghdad Public Safety Academy, and to procure equipment for the IPS, DBE, and FPS. Accomplishments since the April Report: • Three more classes (2,268 students) of the IPS have graduated from the Jordan Academy (for a total of five classes—4,082 students—to date). • Two more classes of police (665 police officers, including 94 women) have graduated from the Baghdad Public Safety Academy (for a total of four classes—1,598 students--to date). • Approximately 22,000 IPS personnel who served as police under the former regime have completed CPA’s three-week Transitional and Integration Program taught by Coalition soldiers. This program emphasizes democratic policing and human rights-related skills rather than basic training. • Specialized police training is rapidly coming online. The following courses have been launched (number of graduates to date in parentheses): --May 2004: Basic Criminal Investigation (78), Mid-Management (31), Train-the- Trainer (326), and Counter Terrorism/Emergency Response Unit Phase I (40). --June 2004: Criminal Intelligence (37), Executive Leadership (47), and Intermediate Dignitary Protection Service (54). Accomplishments anticipated in next quarter: • The Baghdad Public Safety Academy will offer an additional six classes in Basic Criminal Investigation during the remainder of the calendar year. Each class will provide the basic 8-week training curriculum for up to 1,000 police cadets. • Beginning in July, the Jordan Academy will expand to permit up to 1,500 new officers per class. Because the academy maintains two concurrent classes at any time, the maximum capacity will be expanded to 3,000 at any one time. Presently, the Jordan 1-3 Academy has the capacity to train 1,000 per class, or 2,000 at any one time. A total of six IPS classes are scheduled to start training during the remainder of this calendar year. • Specialized training will continue for IPS officers at Ministry of Interior facilities in Baghdad in the subjects listed above, and a number of specialized training courses will begin. The following courses will begin or continue during the fourth quarter (number of students in parentheses): --Basic Criminal Investigation (630); Criminal Intelligence (75); Post-Blast Investigations (120); Organized Crime (200); Drug Enforcement Investigations (150); Kidnapping Investigations (100); Internal Controls (300); Mid-Level Management (120); Executive Leadership (150). • During the fourth quarter, a Civil Intervention Force (CIF) with both public order and counter-insurgency capabilities will be developed under the auspices of the Iraqi Police Service. Initial plans are for the CIF to include two counter-insurgency battalions (1,200 personnel) and nine public order battalions (3,600 personnel). The CIF will also include the new Emergency Response Unit, an elite unit similar to SWAT teams in the United States. OST-I anticipates that the CIF will be deployed by November 2004. Border Enforcement Project Code: 11000 Dollars in millions FY 2004 1st Qtr 2nd Qtr 3rd Qtr 4th Qtr FY 2005 Total April 2207 Report 0 150 130 0 0 280 July 2207 Report 0 150 130 -20 0 260 Change from April Report 0 0 0 -20 0 -20 Obligated to date 96 Outlayed to date 0 Responsible U.S. Government Agency: Department of Defense. Changes from the April Report: The April report allocated $280 million for the Border Enforcement project. As previously notified, the Office of Security Transition-Iraq redirected $20 million of these funds to the new Iraqi Security Forces Quick Response Program. This redirection of funding is possible because DFI funds were used to purchase equipment originally planned to be purchased with IRRF funds for Border Enforcement.
